You are not living in the free and open society you think you are. Traffic to left wing websites has PLUMMETED this year as Google has changed its algorithms to protect their establishment partners. Its been a coordinated assault on alternative media. The algorithms are just one aspect. De-monetizing alternative news outlets has been another method.

Do you hate facts that much? What I just stated is factually correct. WikiLeaks for example has seen its traffic fall more than 30% since Google changed its algorithms. Google is a tax dodging, aggressive corporation with deep ties to the government. It's quite obvious what they're doing here.
